Why Current River chimneys age faster
Current River sits where the north side meets the big lake — older streets near the river mouth, post-war blocks up the hill, and not much between the chimneys and the weather.
- Weather straight off the lake Wind-driven rain and snow work on the exposed sides of the stack.
- Older streets near the river Many homes — and their chimneys — date to the first half of the last century.
- A long freeze-thaw season Cold air off the water keeps masonry cycling through freeze and thaw.

Current River chimney questions
Can't find yours? Send it with your photos.
Do you charge extra to come out to Current River?
No. Current River is inside the regular service area, so estimates and scheduling work the same as anywhere in Thunder Bay.
Our chimney faces the lake. Does that change the repair?
The repair itself is the same, but exposed sides usually need more of it. The weather side gets a close look, and the estimate reflects the sides that take the brunt.
The brick looks fine but the mortar is crumbling. What is that?
Usually failing joints rather than failing brick — that is tuckpointing territory. Photos of the joints are enough for a first read.
When should I send photos?
Any time. Masonry work runs in above-freezing weather, so most jobs are scheduled from late spring to fall — earlier photos mean an earlier spot in the season.
